"Da-da-da"
Gu Junze approached step by step, each step seemingly treading on Shen Jintang's nerves.
Just as Gu Junze reached out to touch Gu Zhixing's shoulder and back—
"clatter."
A drop of water landed on Shen Jintang's eyelashes, icy and dazzling.
Gu Zhixing suddenly grabbed the back of her neck, pulled her close, and then kissed her fiercely.
The taste of rust exploded between his lips and teeth. His bloodied hand gripped her wrist holding the knife, and from an angle where the Crown Prince couldn't see, he pressed the blade deeper into his own wound.
"Hmm!"
Shen Jintang's wide eyes reflected Gu Zhixing's pupils, which were almost touching hers. There was no lust in them, only a warning that was almost pleading.
Shen Jintang's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets; she had absolutely no idea what Gu Zhixing was up to.
Gu Junze was equally confused.
"Tsk—"
Gu Junze tilted his head, looking at the two of them without any attempt to hide his gaze, his eyes full of mockery.

Murdering the crown prince is a capital offense!
He knew all too well what Shen Jintang wanted to do, and he also understood her murderous intent towards the Crown Prince.
But definitely not now, and definitely not in this way.
You'll just get your hands dirty for no reason and get yourself into trouble.
Trust him, he will investigate the Youzhou case thoroughly, clear the Xie family's name, and bring the Crown Prince to justice.
"Oh!" Gu Junze was taken aback when he saw this scene, his eyes filled with surprise. "Didn't you agree on this? Why did you start fighting?"
"What does this have to do with you?"
Gu Zhixing turned his head, panting, blood still on his lips, his voice low and cold.
The candlelight flickered on his face, illuminating his pale complexion and resolute gaze.
